  1. they started salting the roads round by us so might be a good idea to cover your bus in grease for the next 5 months.... WET SALTY ROADS + OLD VWS = RUSTY BITS AND FURRY ALLOY...DOH.... :(
     
  2. the gritters where out near me about 2 week's ago! only been out once that i have seen though luckily!

    my van hasn't moved since oct 6 hopefully i'll avoid all salt until nov 30 when the tax is out, that said as long as you hose it off all over and underneath it won't hurt.
